symptom 185 Posted August 20, 2012 Is there a way to activate death messages on my server??Everyone see's it when a player dies......Frank was killed.What I want to see is who killed them. Like this....Frank was killed by Joe.If a player dies to zombies, vehicle crash, or falling off a building, then there should be only "was killed" in the message.I would really like to have this on my server.

F4ll3N 28 Posted August 20, 2012 deathMessages=1;That just sets whether they show up or not, it does not set it to show who killed who. As far as I know that would require editing the missions files, which is not allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ersan 219 Posted September 15, 2012 He's right, you cannot do that without editing the mission file which isn't allowed - maybe on a private hive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthRogue 8 Posted September 15, 2012 It would be a great tool to combat hackers if the devs would enable this. Getting teleported someplace and mowed down wouldn't be so bad then. At least you'd know who the hacker is who's doing it and get them out of your server. Would probably also discourage hackers from doing it in the first place if they knew they were going to get discovered. It's WAY too anonymous right now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjack85 55 Posted September 15, 2012 It would be a good tool. This and preventing teleporting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pictureclas 2 Posted September 15, 2012 Yes, acctually it is the best and easy way to follow the hackers. They only want to destroy the game for other players. Or give the Server Admins the possibiltiy to log the Deatch Messages with time and play. Arma II is a Hacker Paradise and the Rules for Server Hosters make it easyer for the server hosters 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
